Very nice looking truck. Good find!
302 is a bit small for a F250 4x4, even one that is the lighter GVW version that has the semi-floater rear axle.
Kinda odd for a D50 front to be mated with a semi-floater rear.......

Thanks for all the compliments! I tackled the inside today and got rid of mold smell,drained all the old gas out and got her running.
The carb won't idle and it seems like the catalytic converter is clogged so I'll
look into that first.
It started to rain so I guess I'll search craigslist for the solid axle swap parts

Nice rig! It sure shows how important it is to keep vehicles garaged. Or "Barned" at least.

No I've just been working on her,I ordered a Weiand Stealth manifold to put a Holley carb on her.

That's a nice truck for sure. Hope it works as good as it looks
for you. I like the paint. It's one of the combos I am looking
at for my Bronk. Although a two tone blue still has the top spot.
